Gintoki and Nizo battle to the death on the deck of Takasugi's ship. The anti-battleship weapon Benizakura has infiltrated Nizo's mind, driving Nizo out of control. Gintoki fights back with a sword forged by Tetsuko. Nizo attacks with overwhelming strength, but slowly, the battle begins to turn in Gintoki's favor. Meanwhile, within the ship, Takasugi plans to use the Benizakura to overthrow the shogunate, but he is confronted by Tetsuya, the man who forged the Benizakura, Tetsuya's younger sister Tetsuko, and Katsura.
But there are a few who shine just as bright while they're alive.
Pero hay algunos que brillan 
igual mientras están vivos.
Mas alguns poucos brilham 
com força, mesmo vivos.
